Aging is one of the fundamental questions of 21st century biological science and has been recognized as a significant factor in many diseases including cardiovascular disease and cancers.
+
Aging remains a mystery to science.  What causes it?  What ''is'' it?  How does one define it?
   −
Throughout history, many theories of aging have existed. Currently, modern empirical theories of aging are categorized into two groups: stochastic damage-based theories of aging and programmed theories of aging
+
Logically, aging is simply a progression to [[Heaven]] or [[Hell]]. It is nothing more or less.  The past merely represents points further away from one's destination, while the future is simply points closer to one's destination.
   −
These groups however, are not strict categories as programmed theories of aging may also incorporate elements of damage based theories.
+
This model for aging easily explains enigmas that are otherwise puzzling, including:
−
Especially relevant theories known to the public include the free radical theory of aging as well as aging determined by genetics. However, recently empirical evidence of a hormesis effect by free radicals as well as conflicting data weaken the free radical theory.
     −
Additional questions include:
+
*why conversion becomes more difficult as one grows older
−
 
+
*why criminals often commit worse and worse crimes
−
What genetic pathways might influence aging?
+
*why so many Christian martyrs have willing accepted earthly death
−
How does the evolutionary theory of aging affect programmed theories of aging?
+
*why aging does not necessarily make one more wise or just
